Around 100 cruise passengers have been injured after their ship was thrashed in a brutal storm.<\/p>\n

Saga's Spirit of Discovery was on its way back to port in the UK when it was smashed with 30ft waves and gale-force winds. The worst struck over the Bay of Biscay, along the western coast of France.<\/p>\n

Weather warnings meant the two-week trip to the Canary Islands was cut short after departing on October 24. The captain hoped to avoid the worst of the oncoming storms set to thrash the area. But as it sailed through the Bay of Biscay, the vessel was caught by choppy winds and rain.<\/p>\n

According to MailOnline, at around 12:30pm, the conditions were so rough that the ship's automatic safety system was activated. The vessel's engines fired and jerked the ship into a tight turn, causing around 100 passengers to stumble and slam into the furniture and floor.<\/p>\n

All of the injured passengers were forced to nurse their wounds for around 18 hours. Five passengers are understood to have suffered more serious wounds, they were treated at the ship's medical centre and later taken to hospital after docking.<\/p>\n
